Economic warfare involves the use of economic instruments by one state or non-state actor to weaken another’s economy, often to achieve political or strategic objectives. This can include sanctions, trade restrictions, cyberattacks on financial infrastructure, or currency manipulation. Its aim is to disrupt an adversary’s financial stability, supply chains, or access to critical resources. The tactics employed can range from overt policy measures to covert operations.
